I have only just been introduced to your FB page and this site, but made the blueberry cake as i just could not resist on day 1!! After some figuring of the cup sizes and the cake flour to good 'ole GB translation (thanks to Delia Smith!), I must say this cake is sensational, I cannot stop cutting it, and it is a super family size too, so thank you thank you thank you from Jackie Smith, Northamptonshire, England,

Anonymous - you can use gluten-free all purpose flour. The texture of the cake will vary if you opt to use whole wheat. As for alternative sweeteners - coconut or sucanat works. Milk is healthy but if you are not a fan - almond milk will also work. Crobbin - GF all purpose flour blend works cup for cup.

Early Inspiration

As a young girl living on a small island in the South Pacific, Mia frequently visited her beloved grandma who lived in a tiny countryside village. Though her grandma only had a tiny kitchen with no refrigerator and a makeshift outdoor stove, she enjoyed cooking everything from scratch using fresh ingredients that she herself organically raised and farmed... with lots of love!

Mia has long since sampled a wide variety of unique foods from around the world, but her inspiration, passion, and appreciation for REAL food still originates from her Grandma. Mia tries to source everything from local farms or farmers markets when possible, using mostly fresh, wild, pastured, or organic ingredients.
